[QUOTE="Humble Village Farmer, post: 7855270, member: 142541"] There are no end of government bodies inspecting farms. I have had 3 sheep inspections in 3 years once, one of which was trading standards and the other two were the rpa or defra. In the last 3 years, I have had One apha livestock inspection and one trading standards feed inspection. I kind of think these are the ones that matter, meanwhile you can always get your stickers from the dead tractor. Farm profitability is under threat, not just from subsidies reducing. Farm assurance creates extra work, extra cost and no gain for farmers and access to markets is controlled on spurious grounds for uk farmers but not imports. The dead tractor seems to be costing UK ag around £17m, AHDB £10 or £11m, Nroso, one or two million. For a small farm it's around £1000 in extra cost. Read this week's private eye about agricultural inputs going up by over 20%. I'll try and post. [/QUOTE]
